THREAD on VACCINATION & EQUITY in ENGLAND:
I know I've tweeted about this before, but now we can look at how gaps by deprivation and ethnicity change with age groups and what that might mean...
TLDR: widening gaps but access and communication will be key I suspect 1/5

By deprivation:
Vax coverage gaps *widen* markedly as we move to young ager groups. This is not just a time effect - coverage has flattened off for all these age groups.
Access (able to leave work to get vaccinated, travel, internet access) & communication likely issues 2/5

By ethnicity:
Much larger gaps for all age groups by ethnicity but less impact by age.
Different but overlapping reasons driving ethnicity gaps compared to deprivation gaps? 3/5

Another general trend - all groups seeing lower coverage at younger ages. Even the highest group (least deprived) is not over 90% for the 50-54 group.
Is this trend likely to continue as we vaccinate younger cohorts - particularly with worried about side effects? 4/5

What to do about it? Govt needs to keep communication why vaccines are important and that they are safe.
AND we need to make it as easy as possible for people to get them - esp people unable to get during working day or unable to travel far. 5/5
